Waiting Room

Sing soft lonely soul
Like a warm summer breeze,
Pray she'll come lonely soul
Your heartache to ease.
As you sit in loud silence
Eyes closed to the world
Just you and the silence
With memories unfurled.

Hear her voice lonely soul
As an angels caress,
Soft as a moonbeam
Your sad soul to bless.
She is gone lonely soul
Only memories remain
Do not grieve lonely soul,
Soon this waiting will end.

The below is a computer generated response from Neo, Neopoet's computer artificial intelligence:

The poem "Waiting Room" is a touching tribute to the pain of waiting for someone who may never return. The use of the repeated phrase "lonely soul" creates a sense of isolation and longing throughout the poem. The imagery of a warm summer breeze and a soft moonbeam add a sense of comfort and hope to an otherwise melancholic piece. The line "Pray she'll come lonely soul" captures the desperation of waiting for someone who may never arrive, and the final line "Soon this waiting will end" offers a glimmer of hope.

One suggested line edit could be to change "Your heartache to ease" to "Ease your heartache," which would create a smoother flow and better fit with the rhyme scheme. Overall, "Waiting Room" is a well-crafted poem that effectively captures the emotional weight of waiting for someone who may never return.

Hi, Alex,
This is soft and gentle, and very solemn. But also peaceful. For me, I read it as not only my waiting for someone, but someone else waiting for me, perhaps in the next life, "the other side." The last line offers a loving resolve. Unique, lovely take on the contest theme.

this is a lonely piece of work, and it strikes the right chords; making it a lovely piece. Yes... solemn is the word! Very well done. ~ Geezer.
